Oregon Underwater Volcano EXPLODES?! Scientists Are WORRIED

Описание: Axial Seamount eruption 2026 — the underwater volcano off the Oregon coast that scientists predicted would erupt in 2025 is now approaching eruption in 2026 with a completely new forecasting method.
Axial Seamount eruption update 2026 — scientists have admitted their prediction models failed and launched a first-of-its-kind sealed eruption forecasting experiment, while the monitoring system that makes it all possible faces an uncertain funding future.
Every forecast issued since 2015 has been wrong. Now researchers from Uppsala University, ETH Zurich, and Oregon State University are racing to test a physics-based prediction model in real time — with sealed, tamper-proof forecasts that won't be revealed until after the volcano erupts. But the OOI Regional Cabled Array, the $800 million monitoring system watching Axial, is only funded through summer 2026.
